I am LOVING....

acorn squash! I quarter it, remove seeds, stick on a baking tray, sprinkle with homemade cajun seasoning and roast for about 40 mins. It is sooo lush on a red day to bulk out your meal as replacement for potatoes.

Nope, it's different to BNS. To me, it's a bit firmer so it's more potatoey in texture, almost. I can't describe the taste but it's not as watery as BNS. Give it a go! Can be a bugger to cut though. I had to cut down as far as I could and use my brute strength to snap it in half!

Lost nearly 7st when I did SW back in 2009/10. Then moved to Canada. Have tried and failed at many other plans. Now I want to get back to my roots and do SW again. I love this plan!

I used to grow acorn squashes in my garden. Yummy! I have a giant thing of cajun spice that a family friend sent me from Texas... I use it a lot on my SW chips!! I'll give the acorn squash a go... I love all squashes.

If you are anywhere near a Waitrose supermarket, pop in and get their October booklet which has articles about what's seasonal at the moment, including one on autumn squashes. They have butternut, acorn, harlequin and kabocha.

Went to Waitrose this afternoon and got a Harlequin squash - like an acorn squash but with a mottled green and cream skin. Also got a Kabocha squash which is a bit bigger. According to Waitrose it has "bright orange flesh and a mellow, chestnut flavour that's alittle like sweet potatoes".
